<div dir="ltr">I thought everyone would like to know the reply I got from Oracle which was quick (+1 for that). I have a funny feeling this will turn into some sort of a saga as I have tried about 30 times to install this update on my workstation. I have stopped any vm's, killed libvirt and there are very little processes going on. TOP shows only 1% CPU and 1% Memory being utilised so there is very little going on and still it would not update after a lot more tries. If it doesn't work on a desktop with little activity how is it going to work on a server? I have set the configuration to autoinstall. On a personal note I don't like auto updates as I want to know what the updates are prior to installing. I use yum-cron on my servers that checks and downloads updates but not install them at <a href="http://4.am">4.am</a> every day. An email is then sent to my gmail account via a Postfix relay with SASL authentication and TLS encryption (Google allows up to 500 emails daily with this method) to inform me what updates are ready for installing. I will have it set on autoinstall for a week, if it updates I will eat my Red Hat :-).<br>

<br>
Ksplice includes a number of safety checks to ensure that updates can be safely applied. Sometimes (typically on heavily loaded machines), these precautions can prevent certain updates from being applied, leading to the error message you saw. Typically, all it takes to get an update installed is retrying it a few times.<br>
If re-running uptrack-upgrade a few times by hand doesn't work, what you can do is enable autoinstall briefly for this machine. Then Uptrack can do the work of spacing out attempts (to take advantage of load changes) for you. Is enabling autoinstall briefly an option for you?<br>
You can enable autoinstall by setting "autoinstall = yes" in the /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf on your machines.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Jamie<br>
